Luke Thomas injured now, out for 4 weeks. Damn. I really thought with Rodman, Nicholson, Trevor Clarke out the picture and Anderson carrying a bit of injury too, that it would be Thomas’s chance to step up and prove he’s the player we thought we were signing. Hard to pinpoint where the chance creation and pace is going to come from in forward areas now.

He was just bullshitting, though, wasn't he? How could he judge the treatment injured players were getting? If he can think of someone to blame he will. Obviously injuries before he got here and revamped the medical team was down to cancer and negligence, or whatever else he dreams up. Injuries after that will be down to bad luck, no doubt. Strangely enough, when he arrived, he spoke with the players about what they felt could be improved at the club. And proceeded to repeat those concerns and only those concerns meticulously in good faith for his entire tenure?

Luke Thomas injured now, out for 4 weeks. What? How? What goes on in training? Every morning our squad hosts it’s only WWE style Royal Rumble, winner last time out was Brett ‘Rikishi’ Pitmann

You have to give it to Joey. He’s come out fighting in the press conference. I do hope we win on Saturday. He’s great with the media. If we were winning games we would as fans be so happy. He needs to turn the language into victories. We are Rovers fans and want us to win. Fingers crossed here.

Thought when he said it was time to put up or shut up he was talking about himself.

Does anyone hear what Pearson says at City, i dont actually think he has the mental capacity to speak. Would you prefer that approach?

Just an enormous amount of cliches and soundbites he hopes the supporters will lap up; "hard-earned wages" blah blah blah.

We're not winning a damned thing and we'll be down by Christmas.

He also came across as uncommonly erudite with his superlative academic qualifications and IT business management skills. From the sound of it he could easily redefine the player/manager role into an omnipotent player/CEO role later in his career. I don’t think I’ve been so surprised by a football player’s predilections since I read that Graeme Le Saux collected antiques back in the nineties.

When was the last time anyone was excited by a manager?
JB - Personally i dont think hes saying anything mental, what do people expect him to say? PT - very depressing "not a magician" BG - Proper mentalist on the verge of dillusion GC - another depressing individual DC - Erratic
if we're looking at comments then probably TW as caretaker was the best

Anything Roverdrive? What would we really be expecting Joey to be saying now? To be fair, today's interview was bordering on the reasonable, as he is actually acknowledging how bad we've been, but if you really think he hasn't come up with some proper bullshit over the past six months I don't really know what to say.
